City cats are known for their stability and efficiency. They
are very stable and have very few incidences of accidents.
CityCats also have spacious
areas where people can move
freely including disabled passengers. Wheelchairs can move
within the wide aisles and there are designated areas for
the safety of handicapped and disabled passengers.
Furthermore, there are enough parking spaces for bikes.
Modern CityCats have big onboard toilet facilities and
state-of-the-art plasma screen showing news and
advertisements are mounted within the vicinities of the
ferries.
There are 14 CityCat terminals between Brett’s wharf in the
suburb of Dr. Hamilton and the University of Queensland at
St. Lucia. Running along the Brisbane River, aboard the
CityCats, passengers can visit many places in Brisbane as
the ferries pass different locations like the historical New
Farm
Park at the New Farm Peninsula, the Story Bridge, the
fascinating Botanic Gardens, West End Markets, Queensland
University of Technology which is known as the university
for the real world”, and the Kangaroo Point, a popular
recreational site where people can do rock climbing and
abseiling.
The CityCats travel around the Brisbane River daily
including holidays and weekends to accommodate the need of
thousand excited passengers.
They are due every 15 minutes
